L Taraval proposal revised based on community feedback

Neighborhoods Affected

Route(s) Affected

Thanks to all the riders, residents, merchants and community groups who have provided feedback on our safety and transit reliability proposals along Taraval Street. Based on all of the input we have received so far, and working closely with Supervisor Tang's office, we have made revisions to our original proposal.

REVISED PROPOSAL

The most updated proposal and all materials presented at the February 17, 2016 open house are available below. In short, we have revised the proposal to include a pilot concept that includes striping and improved signage at stops where no pedestrian collisions have occurred. At pilot locations, no parking will be removed. At all other stop locations we are proposing boarding islands, with early implementation of clear zones to get these important safety features on the ground immediately. Lastly, we have updated our proposals for traffic signals, stop consolidation and the transit-only lane, all outlined in the summary of changes table.
